Eastham Landfill sits off Old Orchard Road in Eastham, MA and is the town’s place for burying municipal trash. Locals, landscapers and haulers head here when curbside pickup won’t do or for big cleanouts. Expect a working, no-frills spot rather than a park-like recycling center.
Drive past a small entrance area and a set of scales where trucks and trucks-in-size vehicles are weighed; tipping fees are calculated by weight. Pull up to the entrance booth to check in and then follow the flow of traffic to the active tipping face and cover areas. The site looks like typical landfill terrain - large open cells, equipment moving around, and piles that change over time. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get congested, so lines or slow-moving vehicles are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure everything in the truck or trailer - loose debris can fall off during the short drive through the site and creates extra hassle.
- Bring proof of residency or town sticker if required by Eastham rules; many local facilities ask for verification at the gate.
- Avoid peak times (weekend mornings during the warmer months) if possible to cut down on waiting behind commercial and residential loads.
